31. I missed the DNC stratgist trying to post here
That must have been interesting.

Frankly, the priority need for getting some media control seems so self-evident to me. We've BEEN putting out honest and important messages, we've BEEN refuting lies, but every time, we get excited on the internet*s*, yet it ultimately comes to nothing, because our voice continues to fall into a silent black hole.

Prime Time media is where the largest % of the country gets their info. If we don't get our share back there, we are cooked.

The Fairness Doctrine got trashed, that's a fact and so, we have a completely different paradigm in front of us. The ongoing example of RW illogic relentlessly gaining the upper hand should be proof enough that the integrity of the message isn't even the point anymore. Eyeballs are what's important now, and without a network to call our own, our eyeballs have been hijacked.

Instead of focusing over and over again on how to modify and remodify our message attempting to catch every shift in the RW's shower of lies (and seeing us wasting our energy like that must be pleasing to them), we need to realize that market share and a simple message is tantamount.

I'm no expert in political strategy nor legalities nor policy, but I do have some basic common sense.
